I am running Puppy 4.3 small (which has kernel 2.6.30.5) I have a USB WIFI adapter with the Ralink RT3070 chipset. I could not get it to work with the pet for my kernel offered for downloading at the beginning of this post.

However, the Pet made by Tempestuous at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=346450#346450 (rt3070sta-v2.1.2.0-k2.6.30.5.pet) did work without any problems.

The problem with the pet in this post is that the network wizard does not list the WIFI adapter among the interfaces.

Note that I installed pup_event_backend_modprobe_fix_to_p43x-1.pet before installing the rt3070 pet (and I rebooted a few times between installing those 2 pets).

Problem 1)
- Using internal Atheros AR9285 Wireless card. I can only connect to Open Connections, wlan0 see all available connections, but won't connect to secure ones.
- So, I then open a console and type iwconfig, it tells me that wlan0 is connected to “secure.connection” but I get no Internet connection.

Situation 2)
- I bought the Alfa AWUS036NH wireless USB - Chipset RT3070
- I Installed rerwin's pup_event_backend_modprobe_fix_to_p43x-1.pet
- Then installed Patriot rt3070sta-k26305-2.1.2.0-i486.pet
- To make this driver work, I had to blacklist the wlan0 ath9k module and load RT2870 module.
- I can connect to open networks but not secure connections.

Oh did I forget to mention this is my first time using Linux? Well yes it is only two weeks trying to learn Linux. So I don't know most of the commands.

I really want to congrats the puppy developers and the mods here for ur great work on the new puppy 5. Thanks. now i can use my alfa card with the included RT2870 which so far is doing the job. zOnly thing i got to do is blacklist RT2800usb and restart and i have no problems connecting to my wpa network. Thankx again.

Im still testing the new Puppy 5 version. Does anyone knows if aircrack-ng will work now without the need to crazy configurations?

This is suh-WEET!! I now have wireless for my Asus Eee 701SD! I have the Intellinet 150N USB wifi stick and this driver works just fine, so now I can roam at will. Perhaps I'll find out which chipset this netbook has onboard and get a driver for that as well, but for now this does the job just fine. Now all I need is to find the driver for my slackware install....

ditto
ralink 2870-based usb dongle marketed by Zonetusa.
there must be a thousand thread posts on this topic and a million man hours. tried every single device driver in the Macpup foxy 3 list and none work, including the three or four ralink-specific and 2500/2870-specific ones. why are they in there if they don't work with the specified devices?

Thanks gang for the helpful pointers here in this forum. Since my last post, I've upgraded my netbooks to lucid puppy 5.01, which has all the drivers I needed for both of these netbooks. As for my slackware install, I now use a script to ennable wifi support for that. I'll figure out how or where to install it so I don't have to re-do it on every boot, but for now it's workable. Under puppy, things just work great at bootup and I don't' have to configure anything else. Thanks again!
